Burlington Stores Inc.
Is BURL Halal?
Off-price retail is generally permissible and the latest disclosed asset-based financial ratios pass, with product-mix review still required.
What You Should Know

Apparel, home goods and baby products are generally permissible; product-level revenue is not mapped to a universal Sharia taxonomy.
⚠️ Concerns
- •Product mix is not separately mapped to a universal Sharia taxonomy
- •Some apparel and entertainment products require qualitative review
- •Interest income was 6.161 million for the quarter

Business-activity disclosure
Burlington is an off-price retailer of apparel, home goods, baby products and accessories. General retail is generally permissible, while product-level clothing and accessory classifications require qualitative review.
Limitation: The filing does not quantify product-level revenue under a universal prohibited-product taxonomy.
Purification
Interest income of 6.161 million is disclosed, but ZakatInvest does not prescribe a fixed scholar-approved purification percentage.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions converted from Burlington's May 2, 2026 Form 10-Q, which presents amounts in thousands.
- Interest-bearing debt includes current debt of 20.020 and long-term debt of 1,897.343; operating lease liabilities are excluded.
- Cash is 747.355 and no separate interest-bearing securities line is reported.
- Accounts receivable is 113.984 and total quarterly revenue is 2,856.461.
- Interest income is disclosed as 6.161; product-level revenue is not allocated to a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.
This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
